@Malayalam, it would be cool indeed. On the picture above, it seems that the character is petting.

My comment Is almost copy-pasted, but its not.
I dont like that with any new feature we get a DLC with stuff that should be part of the new feature.

PS: I would like to be able to pet our new friend yes.

I had robot companions in Fallout 4 & they are easy to repair. They do take orders or commands. Sometimes you can add weapons or build them with their own weapons and easy to paint & upgrade. Nice to have I hope in Generation Zero !!

Well… I guess the most important question is, can it get a stick if I throw one ? :thinking: :dog:

Please devs make it so the homing turret doesn’t kill our friend…

Can we add PVG, missile launchers or homing turrets to our friend?

I don’t think we can add those. The companion has its own arsenal of weapons.

As long as it doesn’t bring us our flares, fireworks and handgrenades back… :wink:

Why not? Would be cool to attach unused weapons to a slot. These weapons, like at enemy machines, can be shot off (empties the slot) or it could run out of ammo.
So you would be forced to give him another weapon/stack of ammo.

In my eyes it would be welcome for those many weapons we find in the world or loot.

I am just concluding it has its own arsenal from Carni’s text in Discord: “The weapons you can equip it with are all free.”

It’s all speculation. I could be wrong. :man_shrugging:

The companion has behavior modules what kind of behavior would you want to see?

Fetching @Kimosabe_X’s stick, for instance.

Maybe it’s just

  • agressive: automatically attacks all machines
  • neutral: just for support purposes (as mule, recon or healing unit?)
  • defensive: just shoots if you’re under attack

Hahaha errrrm… actually I’m not sooo sure if I really would want such a :dog: module… especially not if the above mentioned behaviour might apply… :scream: Like:

“Here doggo… bring it back” *whistles * "come on doggo… " “Ahhh, what i fine boy you are… ehh… what the f…?” *boom *

One issue with this new feature is that now…people are going to say :

" we got a Runner companion, now i want a Hunter!"

and others will say

“We want a Tank companion!”

“I want a Lynx companion”
:sweat_smile: :thinking: :eyes:
